Whoever thought white floors were a good idea?
People with maids, maybe. One thing is for sure, spring weather in Kentucky is never boring. You know, if we were smart, we’d dig holes to store all this water for later use this summer, but it’s too wet to dig.
Lawns look like hay fields, ready to bale and rubber boots are everywhere.

In recent years, many people have tried to discredit America’s Christian roots. I am concerned that Christians are deliberately giving up a freedom to enjoy joining corporately to pray for our nation.
In 1775, the Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a nation. Many times since then, our nation has been called to prayer and the first Thursday of May each year has been designated as the annual observance for the National Day of Prayer (Public Law 100-307-May 5, 1988)

Every May since 1963, people all across our country have celebrated the enormous contributions of older Americans.
The Anderson Senior Center is joining in the festivities with a full month of special activities and events, spotlighting the contributions of our seniors to our community.

We would like to thank all the business and individuals that donated water, money and other items to be taken to the tornado victims in Alabama.
We arrived in Alabama on Sunday night, dropped the truck and unloaded it early Monday morning. They took down 250 cases of water, 18 cases of canned goods, several cases of diapers, baby wipes, sanitary gloves and baby formula.
After unloading the truck, we volunteered at one of the areas.

To the editor:
I am writing in response to the April 20 Anderson News editorial. I am an Anderson County resident and News subscriber. I’ve also known Brandon Hurley and many Anderson County Health Department staff and board members as professional public health colleagues.
I’ve noticed a significant increase in community outreach activities covered and advertised in the News since Brandon joined ACHD, such as the fall flu vaccine drive-through clinics at the community park.

Column as I see ’em …
The next time the Anderson County Board of Health wants legal assistance from the county attorney, she should tell it to go pound sand.
A strong response, yes, but understandable given the way the health director spent over $60,000 on new furniture for the new health department building without so much as soliciting a bid.

Webbed feet, anyone?
Well, the Almanac said it would be a wetter than normal spring. It seems like it just keeps raining. I know it’s hard, but resist working the soil when it’s wet. It just messes it up. I had a small field I dug wet once and it was two years before I got those clay lumps back to normal.
